I'm marshalling as usual...shall have to run it again another time, but as Noel says, it is horribly runnable.

Belting race though.

See you there.

Turns out that I should have received the route cards for the OCR, but I had made a mistake in giving the organiser the wrong e-mail address.....DOH!

see you tomorrow then Simon :thumbup:

this is my fave race full stop.

to prove it, I've done it the last 6 straight years - looking forward to number 7...

Bit short for me. But I'll trust Daz' judgement and give it a go. Probably.

You were right Daz, cracking race that was. Excellent route, tough but runnable climb and a great descent at the end. Reckon I did about 41-42 mins, pretty happy with that

Unfortunately my number fell after 2 miles, marshalls seemed ok about it so hopefully I'll not get a DNF.

Great race last night. I was with GazB at the summit but couldn't keep it going.

My feet were a bit sore after wearing my minimal trail shoes, but thankfully no blisters.

Simon Harding needs to do longer races than Wasdale with less time between races if we are to hope it will slow him down enough.

My first time.Great course.It manages to have loads of uphill whilst also being a very fast course.You've always got the climbs on me Noel ;-).Hopefully I'll get a full Moorlands team out 1 day,but 10 counters is a tough ask!

Great to see such a good turnout. It's a tough route but a good 'un.

Thanks for supporting it and see y'all next year...and at Teggs

glorious night on this one last week
record turnout - the "team challenge" seems to be catching on - I'll try to talk Stockport into sending a crew down next year
Will - knew you'd like it - as you say, bit shorter than you're used to, so Well Done! - are you doing Long Tour Of Bradwell or Bullock Smithy?

Yeah thanks for the recommendation, really enjoyed it and was happy / surprised with 19th place. Unfortunately the wife has banned me from Bradwell as its on my wedding anniversary and the Bullock I'm away on holiday. Shame wanted to do both of them. Might see you at Teggs Nose on the 3rd ?
